Disclaimer

1. No government affiliation

ReelPermit is a privately owned and operated license-assistance service. We are not a government agency, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, approved by, or operated by any federal, state, or local government agency — including any state department of natural resources, fish and wildlife agency, or parks and wildlife department. Our name, logo, and site design are original and are not intended to resemble any government website, seal, or branding. Nothing on this site should be read as implying government status, and any such reading is expressly disclaimed.

2. Buy directly from the state

Fishing licenses are issued only by state agencies and are available directly from official state licensing portals — often at a lower cost, because you pay only the state's fees without our assistance charge. What we provide is convenience and support: a guided, error-checked application, purchase handling, delivery, and customer service, all included in one clear total. Whether that convenience is worth it is your choice, and we encourage you to compare before ordering. Every state page on this site links to the official portal it references.

4. Accuracy of information

License names, prices, eligibility rules, and application requirements on this site are researched against the official state portals and stamped with a “last verified” date on each state page. States can change their offerings, fees, and rules at any time without notice to us, so information on this site may become outdated between verifications. Always confirm current prices and requirements on the official state portal before relying on them. Where any discrepancy exists, the official state portal and the state's published regulations control. If we discover an error, we correct it and, where a submitted application is affected, we contact the applicant.

5. Not legal advice

Content on this site is provided for general information and convenience only. It is not legal advice, and it does not replace the fishing regulations published by each state. You are responsible for knowing and following the rules of the state where you fish, including seasons, catch limits, gear restrictions, and stamp or endorsement requirements. If you need legal advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney.

6. External links

This site links to official state portals and other third-party websites for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, availability, security, or privacy practices of third-party sites. Following a link is at your own discretion, and the third party's own terms and policies apply when you use its site.
